About PALOMACY PIGEON AND DOVE ADOPTIONS

Palomacy Pigeon and Dove Adoptions is a volunteer-powered, donation-funded, foster-based rescue headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area that specializes in saving domestic (unreleasable) pigeons and doves. The organization provides avian veterinary treatment, foster care, adoption placement, and an active online Help Group offering 24/7 care coaching and referrals nationwide. Palomacy began operating as a dedicated pigeon-and-dove rescue in the mid-2000s and reports placing thousands of birds since its founding; it completed formal independence as its own tax-exempt public charity (EIN 87-2836252) in 2023 to expand fundraising, grant access, and organizational capacity. In recent years Palomacy has maintained a large foster network (hundreds of birds in care at a time), continued vigorous adoption activity, and secured philanthropy and grants to support growing medical and operating costs.

Notable achievements

Independent 501(c)(3) status

Spun off from fiscal sponsorship and became an independent tax-exempt public charity (operating under EIN 87-2836252) in 2023, enabling direct fundraising, access to nonprofit services, and eligibility for a wider range of grants and platforms.

Sustained grant support

Secured recurring and one-time grants from major donors and foundations in recent years to support medical care and operations, including multi-year support that materially increased rescue and veterinary capacity.

Consistent rescue & rehoming impact

Since its founding Palomacy has placed thousands of pigeons and doves into permanent homes and in 2025 alone reported taking in over 130 new birds and placing more than 120 into forever homes, while maintaining a caseload of several hundred birds across its foster network.
